Nothing Heard of Earbary Coast E plorer For Lo These Many Days. BOY, What has become of friend Boggs? Has the earth suddenly opened and awallowed him, or has he sought new fields and pastures green? Let us hope that he has not forsaken old New Britain for some other place that we might find worse. We of course have the bad as well as the good, the same as other places, but in count, for the good ones, we think that in a great many places, we can give them the throw down. We have searched the Herald every night in vain for him( or rather his name we should sav), but no Boggs could we find. We have taken -a great deal of interest in his writings and we found that they were just the thing, as a digester, after one had | partaken of a hearty meal. In the absence of his name, it looks as though a sudden death had occurred and one in which the Herald had lost one of its best writers.

If Mr. Boggs still exists on this mundane sphere, please convince us of the fact through the Herald, that we may be looking for more of the good things that we have heretofore received from him. G. H. GRIMES, 865 Stanley History of ‘“Stepmother.” “‘Stepmother” is a word with a com- monly unsuspected history. Proba- bly most people if called upon to ex- plain it would say that it meant a woman who had stepped into the place of the true mother. Dr. Johnson, at any rate, helicved that this was the cuggestion of the word to most minds. Really ‘“step” is the Anglo-Saxon “steop,” the original meaning of which appears to have been “orphaned.” Stepchild, stepbairn, stepson and step daughter come first, and then by grad= minder that the mission from the Astatic power should be thrice wel- come to those shores.

York, Aug. 17.—Kingdon Gould, son of George J. Gould, had not filed the affidavits necessary to support his claim for exemption from the draft up to noon yesterday, when the time limit expired, and his friends said last night that he had abandoned all thought of trying to avoid military service. Mr. Gould appeared before the exemption board at Toms River, N. J.,, on Aug. 6 and received an exemption blank, at his request, on the same day. His claim was based on the fact that he had a wife depending upon him' for support. Early in.the previous month Mr. Gould had married Miss Annun- ziata Camilla Maria Lucci, an Italian | girl who had beén studying art in New York city, and his- eXplanation of his request for an exemption blank was that he was not as wealthy as many persons supposed, and his wife would be in financial straits.if he went into the national army. The day, however, Mr. Gould ns saying that he thought wife could “skimp through” even he went into the army. “Nobody has any idea of how my he: was quoted as “I am not wealthy. People, merely think that the name of Gould should mean that one has | great wealth. The only thought in my mind (when he asked for the ea- emption blank) was whether my wife could skimp through in my absence. That led me to declare an intention to claim exemption.” He added that after talking the matter over with his wife, who was anxious for him to do his bit, he de- cided not to press his exemption claim. Under the law he would have been required to submit affidavits from his wife and a disinterested party alleging the dependency of his wife, but as he had filed neither of these affidavits yesterday, he is now in the army New his if saying. it seems. SALOON BAN. Open Near Military Camps. Washington, Aug. 17.—The war de- partment has modified the order pro- hibiting a saloon or bar within half a mile of a military camp so as not to be effectlve where purely tempo- rary camps are concerned. The modification was caused by a situation in Kansas City where many saloon and leading hotel bars in the city were closed because some troops were being mobilized in convention hall. Under the new ruling such temporary mobilization of troops will not be cause for closing bars and officers will be depended on to restrain their men.

LESSO:! FIRST DAY! (Preceding Lessons: Honor; 2. Making Good in the Army; 3. Nine Soldierly Qualities; 4. Getting Ready for Camp.) When the time comes for you to enter the army, vou will be instructed to report at some convenient place in your own neighborhood. 'The exact instructions will be given later. As quickly thereafter, as proper arrange- ments can be made, you and the other men who are assigned to report to the same officer will be transported to the traming camp (or cantonment, as it is sometimes called). NQ. V. IN CAMP. 1. Your Post of men in each cantonment. The task of preparing for your arrival is enor- mous. Each cantonment will require 25,000,000 feet of lumber, 7,500 doors, 37,000 window sashes, 4,665 casks of Portland cement, broken stone. The water supply of a cantonment will be 00,000 gallons a day. It will have its own sewerage system, fire department, bakeries, ice plants and hospitals. It will even re- quire a gigantic steam-heating plant. Sixteen cities, each with a population of 40,000, well cared for—that is the task. In spite of the best offorts, it is pos- sible that some of the details may re- main unfinished at the beginning of camp life. There will be a cer- tuin amount of bustle and apparent confusion on the surface. Bear in mind that underneath it all lies a well thought out plan. In working out this plan cvervthing possible has been done for the comfort and convenience of individual soldiers. Don’t grumble if you run into some temporary delays or ineconveniences at the beginning. One of the tests of a good soldier is his cheerful willingness to take things as they are and make the best of them, You are naturally interested in forming some idea of the camp life pf a soldier. The description which fol- lows will help you in forming this idea. However, there will - be many changes as you go along in your train- ing. As the men in the National Army must get ready in record-breaking time, their training will be more stren- uous than that of soldiers in peace. You will find there is plenty of hard work ahead of you. The average en- ergetic young American will be glad of it. The soldier arises for the day usual- your HOME READING COURSE FOR CITIZEN SOLDIERS sons offered to men selected for service in Na- tional Army as practical help in getting started in the right way. attempt is made to give binding rules or directions, the course be- These lessons are issued by the War Depart- ment which reserves right to reprint. .No ly at about six o’clock, a little earlier | in the summer and a little later in the | winter. |The buglers sound the known as reveille. fall in. Your first experience call The men dress and of military | drill will probably consist of “setting up exercises”, which ordinarily occu- py the first few minutes of the day. They consist of certain movements of : the head, arms, trunk and legs which ! are carefully designed not merely to i crease your skill, 'and self-reliance. develop your muscles but also to in- grace, self-control At the same time they will also put you into the right frame of mind for a vigorous day's | work.

Frequently the company commander will inspect afterwards to make sure that every man has at- tended to his part of the work. There is then often some time which the trained soldier uses for attending to his personal needs, tidving up his clothing, and the like. The remaining two ar three hours of the morning are likely to be spent in drill—at first in ‘“‘close order” and later in “extended order” also. These terms will be explained in another part of this course. As you advance, the drills will become more and more interesting. During the drill there are numerous short periods of rest. In most camps guard mounting comes about noon. This consists of relieving the men who have been guarding the camp and turning over this duty to new men. Each soldier mounts guard not oftener than once a week. After guard mounting the men go to dinner, which comes at twelve At least one hour is always . allowed for dinner and rest. During the afternoons the work is | likely to be varied and to include addi- tional settins-up exercises and other drills, target practice, bayonet exer- cises, and later more advanced drill- ing. About five o’clock comes the evening parade and ‘retreat”, when the flag is lowered or furled for the night. The band plays “The Stgs Spangled Banner”, while all officers and soldlers stand at attention. The ceremony is designed to deepen each lmam‘s respect and love for the flag which he serves; it is always impres- sive. After the flag is lowered, it is carefully folded and escorted by the Ig\mrd to headquarters, where it is { kept until the next morning, when it |15 again raised. | | Supper comes hetween five and sif o’clock, and is usually followed by a period of rest. |In the training camps there will be many opportunities. for a variety of healthful amusements— for sports, music, the theater, and so on, as, later described. Taps are sounded by ten o'clock. This is the signal to put out all lights, retire andy. keep quiet. ‘It closes the day for the soldier and sends him to his blankets a tired and sleepy man.” This is only a sample of a day in camp. On some days your company will go off on “hikes”. After a time there may be longer marches, when you will carry your shelter tents with you and you will make your owm campgeach evening. These are days that 1 be especially ihteresting. You will learn the soldiers art of adapting yourself to new situations and making yourself comfortable. Your officers will ask you to do noth- ing that they have not many times done themselves. They will ask noth- ing of you which any normal, healthy man canrot do. After a month or tweA of this training you will find that you have begun to take on some of the skill and the self-reliance of a real soldier. DE SAULLES INQUEST ENDS. Woman’s Maid Reports Story of Shooting to Court. R New York, Aug. 17.—Justice of the Peace Walter R. Jones yesterday con- cluded his inquest at Mineola into the killing of John Longer de Saulles by his wife, Mrs. Bianca de Saulles. The only witness was Suzanne Man- teau, Mrs. de Saulles’ maid, who re. peated in all particulars the story she. told last week on oath to District Ass torney Weeks. The maid contradicted other wiy. nesses of the shooting by saying her mistress had made no attempt to use the revolver she carried in a sweater pocket until Jack de Saulles had told her she should not have possession of the child ‘‘now or ever.” Justice Jones said he would report his find- ings in a day or so. The condition of Mrs. de Saulles’ continues to improve, the second visi¥' of her small son Iaving so revived her spirits that she was able to spend most of the day out &f bed. She re- ceived no visitors, however.
